The summer season may be best for most people, but the property is also charming in late autumn, winter and early spring. Some winters, the ice on the fjord is thick enough for skating, cross-country skiing, ski sailing and kite snowboarding. The combination of cable-heated floors, electric wall heaters and an effective fireplace ensures indoor comfort all winter long.

We stayed with two colleagues instead of an overpriced Oslo hotel and it was a great decision! The house is a dream and everything was as described. A very peaceful and tranquil place to relax!

Bjorn's beach house is a really unique and beautiful place to stay! We were a group of eight people, three generations. The house is off the beaten path and a wonderful alternative to staying downtown. The kids loved being on the water and enjoying the sea life. The house is wonderfully equipped with grill, fishing poles, outdoor spaces, kayak - everything you need to be comfortable. We rented Bjorn's speedboat for a day and that was a fun way to see Oslo!

Simple amazing! Could not suggest this enough! Bjørn was amazing from the start the road to the property was closed for maintenance for the day when we got there which he did inform us as soon as he found out and gave us a lift on his boat so we didn't have to wait which was amazing. He was so welcoming and it seemed he couldn't do enough for us. The house is in an incredible area and the views are simply sensational. As Bjørn recommends I would get car hire as it makes things a lot easier and there are shops to buy drinks and food. Thanks again Bjørn!

This 250 m2 high standard house is only 20-25 minutes from Oslo by car, but is still situated in a rural location 100m from the fjord. Here you can enjoy the seaview from a large balcony or from the inside through the many large windows. You can enjoy a nice workout in a well equipped gym, or relax down by the small beach 2 minutes away. The kids will love the sea, the playground and "tusenfryd" the amusement park nearby.

During summer time you can enjoy the luxury of a small beach 2 minutes from the house, and a larger beach/play-area aproximately 10 minutes by feet. There is a dock just down the road where rental of a boat can be arranged. During winter, depending on the weather, it is possible to go ice-skating on the fjord.
"Tusenfryd" the amusement park is 10 minutes away by car, and the local shopping mall is nearby. There are jogging paths and good surroundings for cycling in the area.
If you want to visit sweden it is a 1 hour drive away.
Everything a family needs to have a good time is in the house. Since this a private home closets to store clothing etc is limited.
There is a cat living in the house that needs some food now and then. It is mostly outside and has its own door.

A very nice apartment in a lovely neighbourhood. My family and me felt like we are home. Even was great host and everything was perfect.

Zoran2017-08-21T00:00:00Z

We spend a very nice time in Even's house which is spacious, quiet and comfortable. Located 5 minutes walk from the bus stop 83 which runs every half hour with a journey time of 40 minutes to the city center. Even was very accomodating and reactive to provide useful explanations. Recommended ++.

The nice yellow house of Anna is so cosy. And really nearby the train station, in 20 min. you are in Oslo. We had a great stay, enjoyed beautiful walks and had nice visits to Oslo. The cooking on the special old stove is a challenge but it works fine. The shower is a bit small and doors can not be closed. The cat and rabbit are nice pets and all together Anna's house gives you the feeling of a comforting home away from home.

The welcome was friendly and openhearted. The house is beautiful and cosy. Very artistic, creative, a little design museum full of lovely details and charming compositions of colors, structures and things. Art, music, stories... A real "Villa Villekulla :-)" Elsa the cat is charming, the surroundings are beautiful ... As the Beatles are singing: "Good Norwegian wood". We had a great time. A supermarket is up the hill.

We absolutely loved this Vila ! The location couldn't be beat and we had everything we needed and more for our stay in Kolbotn.

Edgaras2016-08-19T00:00:00Z

Unni was excellent host. She replied to the request and my messages very quickly. We felt like in our own home. Thank you for the beautiful days we spent and hopefully next time we can also use this site. I recommend this place .

Aras2015-11-12T00:00:00Z

Regrettably, Unni did not ensure that the house had been cleaned and prepared for us before we arrived. She did explain why she was late arriving at the house. To be fair, Unni did compensate us for this, was vey apologetic and did say that we could use the house before she cleaned it. However, we did not wish to sit in the sitting room when the settee still had the unmade bedding from a previous guest who had been sleeping on the sofa. As it was, it was after 10pm before we were able to feel comfortable and go into the house. The pictures do not reflect the house as it was during our stay. The garden is completely overgrown and the windows very dirty. Yes, the house is old but it is very tired and in need of a general tidy up and some TLC. I recommend that future guests ask Unni for a clear explanation of how to work the 3 tap system for the bath and shower.

Thomas2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

Unni was very friendly.

Janek2016-05-01T00:00:00Z

We, a family with three teenager kids from Munich, stayed two nights at Unni's house. Unni is very nice and helpful, e.g. with advice on what to see in Oslo. The communication was always smooth and pleasant. The house and the equipment are not new, as shown in the pictures on the Airbnb site. On the other hand the house has therefore a distinct atmosphere. The train is passing by very close, but with closed windows the noise is okay. We didn't use the garden, but we can imagine, it's very relaxing after a day in Oslo.

A beautiful and practical house near Oslo (located by the Kolbotn lake) for rent during the summer season. Child-friendly facilities, a minute from the train station, and just a walk away from a skate-park and Kolbotn shopping centre. A row-boat is available at the private pier. Fishing is also an option.

Thank you Kåre for a nice apartment. I wish I could stay longer. It is not so far away from Oslo if one drives, and perfect for a family who likes nature. I did kayaking first time in my life and it was an unforgettable experience.

Newly renovated and spacious house over three floors. Perfect for families. Great outdoor area with big BBQ. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Only 25 minutes to downtown Oslo and 9 minute drive to The Well (spa).
Norways largest themepark Tusenfryd is short drive away, along with several other family attractions such as Hurlumheihuset and Rush trampoline park.

This is real Oslo suburbia ! A cute norwegian house set among a little housing area, perfect for our one night stop over. We found the house lovely and clean and it was easy to find everything. Katrine was a great hostess and we even swopped beers for whisky as we were not able to buy beers after 6pm ! Very uncomplicated and the kids felt very happy here. A nice welcoming house and big enough for all 5 of us. We had a great stay and can gladly recommend further ! Top Class, this is what airbnb is all about ! We felt like we had stayed with friends ! Thank you for everthing !

hi katrine, your house is a gem! located just off the main route, yet so quiet and peaceful. we were thrilled. communication was supereasy and the quickest yet, everything inside the house was set and ready, great place. it felt like being invited to a friend s home. appliances were all top and kitchen and bathrooms well equipped. what a shame, we could only stay one night. the internet is stunningly good .the view front and back really scenic, there is the most picturesque back garden leading straight up into the fairy woods. five stars for cosy home and great interior. thank you for having us!

Beautiful house with huge garden in Nesodden. Two minutes walk from the bus stop leading you straight too the ferry that goes over to Aker Brygge

Country feeling, but still so close to Oslo city.

Stine's house was beautiful and even better than in the pictures. A lovely house, beautifully and thoughtfully decorated and very clean. It had everything we needed and the amenities were all perfect. The garden is absolutely delightful too and great for my two young children to run around in. Very private with beautiful surroundings. We could sadly only stay one night and would have loved to stay longer. We had a car so it was easy to get around. There is a choice of beaches nearby - one 5 minutes drive was a good size and great to spend some time there. A full sized supermarket just 2 minutes drive. About 10 minutes drive to the passenger ferry that takes you straight in to Oslo. The host was exceptionally helpful and answered a number of queries beforehand and made sure we knew how to find everything we needed in the house. I can thoroughly recommend it and hope to return.

The house is 5 minutes walk from the railway to Oslo (22 minutes). It is 5 minutes walk from the woods. There is a Sushi & Wok restaurant, Chinese restaurant and a supermarket at the train station.
Must love or tolerate the house cat that lives there and feed it once a day. Can therefore not bring a dog.
You will love my place due to its closeness to the woods and its coziness (with fireplace and wood).
My place fits both for one or two families. Only 5 minutes by car to Tusenfryd.

You will love my place due to its closeness to the woods and its coziness (with fireplace and wood). Also possibility for nice walks along the coast in the vicinity.

Small house on a farm close to Oslo and next to a forest. We have hens, sheep and vegetables (during the season). Toilet+shower is not included in the house, but is available in the main house.
(URL HIDDEN)

Three room house. To bedrooms in the back, one in the front. In all one single bed, two bigger beds and a sofa. One livingroom. Can house more than three people.

Peaceful. Combine a trip to Oslo with a stay on an organic farm. Small farm with happy sheep and egglaying hens.

I was at this charming place for two days and it was a good experience. The cabin was very cozy with wood stove, retro furniture and a relaxing atmosphere. Sara and Day were very nice and helpful, and I felt welcome from the first moment. I got the fresh organic eggs from the chickens on the farm which tasted great. The location provides access to nature, peace, quiet, fresh air and animals and in summer it is not far to the bathing by the sea. It is easy to get to the center of Oslo, three minutes to walk to the bus that corresponds with boat to Aker Brygge, and one gets a nice boat trip on the fjord. Can warmly recommended!

We had a lovely stay at Cecilie's house! The house was lovely, the neighbourhood was nice and quiet, and we had a wonderful and relaxing stay. Cecilie was very helpful both before and during our stay.

Laura2016-09-07T00:00:00Z

Cecilie's house is a great specimen of a Norwegian cabin and we can only recommend it if you are looking for this experience. We have spent our three week summer holidays in Nesodden with our newborn child; the house is lovely and the kitchen is well-equipped what allows you to cook even complex meals. The cabin is also spacious for rainy days and for having guests over. Be advised that the cabin's property is shared with Cecilie's house. In practice, this is nothing to mind, Cecilie is a caring and quiet neighbour, but we did not understand this from the advert. Also, the attic bedroom is only accessible via a non-attached ladder which makes it innaccessible to those restricted, elderly or young kids. The sofa on the other hand is a very comfortable sleeping place; almost equal to a bed.

Cozy cottage in a quiet location with great views and great areas to walk and explore. Public transport to Oslo easy to navigate and relatively quick. A 10 minute walk to the bus stop (gravel road, uphill), +-20minute bus journey and a 20 minute boat ride. The outside loo might not be for everyone, specially in winter. Drinking water from bottles, not tap (the host did supply). Bathroom recently re-done, very spacious, though final finished to be done. Bedroom was a bit small with the baby cot in the room. There is limited space for hanging clothes. Could not use the 2nd room in the attic as per the spec (there was no ladder and did not ask the host either). Steep stairs down to the kitchen and bathroom with a fairly low doorway (if you are tall). A shopping mall a 15 minute bus journey away, with another smaller convenience store a shorter bus journey away. The host was helpful, easily reachable, living next door. Emergency repairs had to be done while we were there, the host did advise and apologised.
